English is a hard language (and I'm a native speaker)

Future listings of my blog posts in this series. I compare English to other languages that I know of (and maybe other I google) and say no language is hard to learn but at the same time every language is hard to learn.

Tentative topics

Intro post
Alphabet & sounds (example languages)

• Roman Alphabet (English, Turkish, Albanian)
• Cyrillic and Greek Alphabets (Russian, Kazakh, Modern Greek)
• Consonant Alphabets (Arabic, Persian, Modern Hebrew)
• Syllabic Alphabets (Hindi)
• Logographs (Chinese)
• Things I couldn't fit into the other posts (Georgian, Korean, and languages with more than 1 script)

Classifications

• Language Family
• Language Typology

Sounds (in depth)

• Phonetics (sounds in general and how they are made)
• Phonology (How sounds behave in languages)
• Connecting sounds with script (may possibly combine this with the other two topic areas)

Word order

• Subject Verb Object 
• Subject Object Verb
• Verb Subject Object
• Odds and Ends: Object Subject Verb, Object Verb Subject, Verb Object Subject

Nouns

• Gender
• Declensions
• Number (singular, plural)

Verbs

• to be and to have
• time and tense
• moods

Idioms and expressions
Dialects (Inspired by someone who though the Irish language was a dialect of English)

Some topics, if posts seem to be dragging on too long, may be split into sub topics. I may add more topics along the way. I may not touch a topic at all.
